Happy New Year! Shivani here, the co-founder of ForeveRx. I have been toying with the idea of creating a blog for years now to document my time through medical school and residency. Doing this through ForeveRx feels like the perfect opportunity. ForeveRx was born out of a desire to create a community for health care professionals in various stages of training and career amid the COVID pandemic. Fast forward to a few years later, the need for a like-minded community like this is even more evident. Residency training is a time for professional growth for all of us irrespective of the specialty we choose and where we practice. It can also be a time where burn-out rears its head for the first time and mental health issues run rampant. When I started as a first-year resident, I so wish I had a place where I could candidly share my thoughts and speak to my contemporaries without fear of being judged or labeled as something other than a competent, intelligent physician. This is my hope for this blog. If you made it this far, welcome! And Happy New Year! May this year be one filled with wellness, healing, and moments that make you smile ear to ear both in and out of the hospital.
